Department Guidance on Preparation for Teaching and Learning
The Guidance acknowledges all of the 'invisible' and 'visible' preparation activities that teachers undertake int their classrooms on a daily basis. It encourages teachers and inspectors to really acknowledge and value these aspects of preparation. The Guidance also encourages teachers to demonstrate their planning through professional dialog.
Save some time in preparation. Less content-heavy note writing in favour of more useful, purposeful, practical bespoke and personal note writing and recording.
